We had our first Parent Training class last night. It didn't start off on a great note. Our service coordinator is the one who set up the class-they're always the ones who handle contacting the vendors, payment, etc. So we picked our class and time and all that, and I also asked her to see if it was okay to bring Monkey Baby, as he's under 1, still nursing, and won't take a bottle or a binky and barely eats food (to the point where he's now anemic, just found out today ...yay us!) ...she checked and we were given the okay.
We get to class, we're the first ones there. Instructor comes in, and says hi ...you can tell something is up. Then she says "um, normally children aren't allowed in class. Obviously, I'm not going to kick you out, but ...." I apologized and said we were told it was okay by our SC. I'm embarrassed now, and stressing on every little sound he makes. So hubby decides he'll just wait in the car with him. I don't want him to miss the whole class and it's just basic ABA stuff which I've had enough time to read up on anyway, so during the break in the middle of the 3 hour class, we switch off. So we each got to hear half of the first class.
So, for the next 3 weeks, guess we're going to have to leave him so we can both go. Which kinda sucks, because I am sure he's going to cry quite a bit. He's at that age where everyone but people he has daily contact with are strangers, and he cries whenever they come near him. And there is the whole food issue ...the fact that we'll be gone at least 4 hours and he's still 90% nursing. I figure either way is going to be stressful though, either us splitting classes, or us both going and worrying about him.
Had a phone appointment for SSI for Rocket today. I will get some info via mail in about a week, and I have to send in a release for his medical records and all that, and then we wait. I know the likelihood of him just getting approved is pretty slim, but I can hope, right?
That's about it for today!
